Absolutely outstanding video!! You were very easy to understand and your camera was close and focused enough that there was no second guessing. I was timid to change out the ATF on my 07 Honda CRV but not after watching this video!! I just ordered my Honda ATF and will take care of it this week! GREAT JOB!!
I have a 2013 CRV, it has a vibration around 20 to 35 mph, I watched a video about a 13 civic doing the same thing, I’m going to try changing the fluid, your video is a really big help. Thank you!!
@@shouhanchen370 I just received the fluid and crush washers, I’m going to change it this weekend and I’ll let you know. Hopefully that’s it because I’m running out of things to change.
@@yrigoyen0108you finished yet? i started at 7am(west coast) doing the engine oil and transmission. Going thru the P,R,N,D process right now lol. I have the same shaking issue but I hear it needs a transmission update from the dealer.
@@urbansolis no not yet, they sent me the wrong crush washer. Man that’s a real bummer, I was really hopeful that it would work. I’ve already changed both front drive shaft thinking that was the problem.
@@urbansolis I haven’t yet, they sent me the wrong crush washers. So does your shake at idle or while you’re driving, mine shakes at around 20 to 40 miles an hour, if I let off the gas for a split second it stops. But it’s happening more frequently now.
Thank you for the video, going to do my wife's 2009 CR-V today, so many video that don't share the correct torque spec when putting things back together, so thank you for the 36 ft/lb. Only suggestion is to wear gloves, no oil liquids from cars are good to get on your skin.
Every time I do my 2013 CRV it is always 2 and 1/4 quarts. While you are underneath the car it is also a good time to check the fasteners that hold the splash shield to the car, I was missing 4 and the rest were worn out and loose.
@@mhz1000aa yes. I see the filter now.. most people don't change it that regularly drain and fill auto trans fluid ..but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be changed or that there isn't one. I learned that now. Thank you !
@@The_Touring_Jedi my CRV is a 2012 ...I only saw the cartridge type filter under the airbox ...which I just changed ...but I didn't know of any screw type filter ...maybe on later model ?
I have always done oil myself for all my cars. Unfortunately the cap is pretty jammed for any normal person to take it off to drain the fluid. If its the case with urs, save urself the energy and get it changed by a shop.
The drain plug can be on there pretty tight but it is in an easy to access area so getting a socket wrench or breaker bar on it is actually really easy and once it’s broken free it spins out by hand easily.
i have a honda crv 2013. how many quarts does it take ? the shop did a transmission rebuild and i checked dip stick after taking a long drive and no fluid on dipstick. i called them up and they said maybe it just needs to be "topped off" it was a honda dealership and they said they put 6 quarts in ? whaaaaat
@9:19: If you pour with the spout on top or on the side, it'll flow smoothly rather than glurping, because the air won't be fighting the oil to get into the bottle.
Hey i just changed mine but 4.6L came out. Note that the car wasnt levelled it was jacked on the driver side, should i put what came out or put what manual says which is 2.7L? Thanks
Add the same amount that drained out, theoretically it's the correct amount, unless it was overfilled to begin with. A quart low probably won't do any harm, I've seen transmissions blow lines and leak out and get refilled and be "fine". Just check the level when hot a couple times to dial in the correct level.
@@brent3 thats my main concern is if its overfilled but then again it was shifting fine. Ill add what came out and check. I feel like its because i didnt level it and more came out than usual
@@D41Pat I think you're correct, it not being level changes where fluid would sit and drain out. On my '10 CRV when cold the fluid is at the bottom of the dipstick under the HOT lines. If it were me, I'd fill what came out, drive it, get it up to temp and check the level. IMHO better to have a bit too much fluid than a bit too little.
@@brent3 so i ended up putting back however much came out but it was overfilled to begin with. I corrected it to the right amount about 2.7L. Good thing didnt damage the transmission it was about 1.5L overfilled. I feel like the previous owner or his mechanic thought this was a cvt transmission which required 4.3L
You changed the oil only!?! The transmission filter is under the air intake box to the back side of the trans. It looks like a fuel filter and is very easy to change.😮
hi mate, i have the 2012 2.2 dtec diesel automatic here in the uk, would you know if it would be the same procedure on mine, it has the same dipstick so im guessing it would, the gearbox is 5 speed?
@@chetoyawalcott2127 I wouldn't use anything but OEM Honda trans fluid ...too much at risk for a few dollars difference . It is available at your Honda Dealer or Amazon
This is a very important point. Being under any part of a car, even for a short time, is not safe using only a floor jack. At a minimum, two jacks stands in the front should be used, with the parking break on to stabilize the rear wheels. Also chock the rear wheels.
It was slightly overfilled at the beginning so that’s why I addded a little less than 3qts then after starting it getting it warmed up and through all the gears I added the rest of that 3rd quart so it took a total of 3 quarts.
Because if not your transmission will fail eventually sooner then later. Doing this every 40k can make this transmission last 300k miles without issue.
Please use Honda ATF-Z1 on the 2007 CRV AWD version. There are numerous threads about using Honda DW-1 or Z1. Page 273 of the 2007 Honda CRV owners manual clearly states using Z1. I know there are comments about the DW-1 is the newer version and backwards compatible, but why would you change from the original?? Just saying. Change to the new version at your own risk.
Why does Honda say not to do a complete transmission fluid change (DIY'ers)? They say it should only be done by a professional with a special machine. Is that just Honda Bullshit?
Most manufacturers say not to do a flush instead just do a drain and refill because when you use a flushing machine you take the chance of dislodging debris or clogging the filter which will cause issues.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGEThat's fair enough advice from manufacturer. These Honda transmissions can last long if oil is drain every 30k or every second oil change.
@@donnaavent2062no,,I didn't. it was advised against doing so by several sources. I only have 30,500mi on my 2014 crv lx. my stealership wants almost $200 to drain and flush but I don't think it's necessary. sorry for late reply.
I just finished changing the tranny fluid on my son’s 2014 CRV. This video is well done and is very helpful. Thank you for posting it 😊
How many quarts did you use?
I really appreciate the time you took to put this together, and now I don't have to hunt around for anything or even look up the torque spec. Thanks!

How did your transmission fluid change go?
Wow! Having a drain plug makes it easy compared to having to remove a pan. It is nice that Honda included a magnetic drain plug. Thanks.

Just what I was looking for. Can you also do a differential fluid change for a 2009 CRV
Once I get another one in I definitely will.
Solid video! Really great, thank you Blue Collar Garage
Gracias 🙏 si me sirvió bastante que no sabía cómo cambiarlo 😊
Здравствуйте. А Почему Вы не поменяли внешний фильтр АКПП?
En el tranfer lleva algotro tipo de aceite o el tranfer se lubrica con el mismo atf?
The transfer case is integrated with the transmission and uses the same fluid as the transmission so it’s changed when the transmission is serviced.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE gracias
Don't we have to change oil & filter in a transmition fluid change? Thanks, well done vid.
There is a filter that can be change on Honda CRV..but probably not with every fluid drain and fill

How many quarts for 2wheel drive crv? Is it still the same typ
The 2wd transmission takes a little less .6 qts less then a awd. But always double check with the dipstick to be sure.
Was this CRV AWD?
Awd
wouldn't the hight temperature make it easier to burn you? why can't we re use the old washer
Big thanks for the post
Hi. Very important to mention. Is it a 2WD, or a 4WD? Thanks
At 6:15 you can see driveshaft and rear differential. It’s 4wd.
You changed the oil only!?! The transmission filter is under the air intake box to the back side of the trans. It looks like a fuel filter and is very easy to change.😮
You only replace the filter after like 200,000 miles unless there is something unusual going on with the transmission or transmission fluid etc..
2007 and later Honda CRV’s do not have an external transmission filter. They only have an internal sump filter.
Great detail video.
nice job

Download your vehicles service manual that should help you with everything
I wish the diesel was available for us in the USA
how much is out = how much goes in. That's what I did.
What happens if you can't find the exact honda DW1 ATF? Can we use Valvoline brand instead?
@@chetoyawalcott2127 I wouldn't use anything but OEM Honda trans fluid ...too much at risk for a few dollars difference . It is available at your Honda Dealer or Amazon
You were under the car with just a jack holding the car up?
Yes but do not do that.

You drain more than 3 qts but added less than 3 qts?
It was slightly overfilled at the beginning so that’s why I addded a little less than 3qts then after starting it getting it warmed up and through all the gears I added the rest of that 3rd quart so it took a total of 3 quarts.
Good job, I did the same thing last year with my 2013 crv. I put 3 full quarts.
Looks like you didn't pay attention to the video.
Only 4qrts is enough for the honda crv 2013 awd 2.4?
you need 6qt, first drain and fill 3qt, drive 2-3week or 200 mile ---or more, then drain and fill again
Is there a transmission filter to change too?
Yes, its just behind the radiator (on my 2007). Real easy to change, not sure why he didnt change it.
Why change Transmission fluid?
Because if not your transmission will fail eventually sooner then later. Doing this every 40k can make this transmission last 300k miles without issue.
@@sydneyfoote718 this transmission was designed for fluid drain and fill intervals...similar to changing engine oil ...
